He used Powerstop Z23 pads/Evolution Geomet Rotors I bought from Rock Auto (those were about $300 shipped). He even wiped down the inside of the wheel rims.
I felt the stock 4th gen brake pads didn't grip as tight as would be expected on a 4 caliper brake system. So I replaced them with Bosch ceramic brakes. Highly recommend this to any of yall who feel the same.
If you slam on the brakes above 40 mph (when it is clear and safe to do so), you can feel the blood rush to your face.
I did PowerStop drilled & slotted with ceramic pads. Fantastic upgrade. Lasted about 2 years until they got noisy as hell.
I would pick power stop at about $150 give or take - you are there with the labor time - put in the new parts
Powerstop Z23 works just fine. Z26 if you want low dust.
I went with a set of Powerstop brakes rear and front and ordered OEM brembos which should completely solve the shutter also improving stability when braking. Will update this
I ran the Ford Severe Duty pads, and now the Power Stop Z36. The Severe Duty pads performed great but had a LOT of brake dust. They are semi metallic so should be higher performance at the cost of brake dust and pad/rotor life. The Power Stop pads feel like they perform just as good (towing) and have almost no brake dust, and seem to be long lasting so I'd recommend them.
If you can double your budget you can get some Dynamic Friction or PowerStops from Jegs or Summit Racing. I'd trust those over some no name brand at Walmart
I get this too since I replaced pads and rotors (Bosch Quietcast pads/Zimmermann rotors). To me, it's more of a click than a clunk.
Imo I’ve installed powerstop brakes 4 times on a handful of my cars and they rust to absolute hell. Just go for oem or acdelco gold etc I ended up replacing the powerstop for oem anyways.
